Wedding Mexican catering near Whyteleafe
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Whyteleafe
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. On the menu are evening tacos, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits weddings with lots of dietary needs and garden and marquee weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Whyteleafe, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Whyteleafe questions
Which station should guests use for Whyteleafe?
Upper Warlingham station, in Whyteleafe itself.
We’re having a ceremony at St Luke: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
If things run late, and we’ll move the serving time so the food is still hot.
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
